He works uot onlv with hi hand a but with his head. He is an intelll- gent worker and n r a . duces more in a (riven length of time than the work er of any other na tion, lie not onlv exhausts himself physically, but mentally; not only muscularly, but nervously. The consequence is that while he Is better fed and better housed, he is not, as a rule, as heaituy a man as bis brother worki rkiui igr-man of European countries. More- over, like all American, the American working -man is prone to disregard his health and frequently even takes pride in abusing It. It rests with American wives to firotect their husbands in this respect. A ittle watchfulness on the part of the wife will frequently save her husband from a louc ijKll of ill-tiealth and possibly from some fatal illness. When a man feels "out of sorts " It is because bis digestion ii dis ordered or Ills liver is torpid. Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will promptly correct these disorders. It is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder It restores the appetite, makes digestion perfect and the liver active. It purifies the blood and toues the nerves. It cures 93 per cent, of all cases of consumption, bronchitis, asth ma, weak luairs, llnjeiliif cough, splttltifr of blood aud disease of the throat and natal cavities. Thousands have told the story of it wonderful merits In letters to Dr. Pierce. It may be had at any mcdlciuc dealer's. "Your 'OolJen Uedlcal Discovery' cured me of a severe case of poUoalug of the blood," writes Mrs. Sell Rices, of Cot. Sauta Cms Co..

To reach this room you pass on to the sec ond door and come back throuRh an Intermediate room occuplrd by the private secretary to tho governor. In tho lirat room Governor V. P. Lord Is now busily cngaRcd in tho prepara tion ot his final message to the Ore gon legislature, January 10th next, the legislature having convened In Joint session, Governor Lord will bo Invited to appear before them and de liver his biennial message, Immedi ately following which, tho vote for tho new Governor haying been can yussed, Governor T. T. Gcor will be Introduced and his messago delivered. Governor Lord, known to tho many old timers as ''Major" Lord, having been an ar.uy ofilucr In tho war of the rebellion, ana to IiIh friends us "Judgo" Lord, from his 14 years' sor vico m Supremo Judgo and now as "Governor" Lord, will no doubt pro sent an abln messago. All his Btate papers aro models. Nothing has he left in all his twenty or .more years' service which will not boar tho closest inspection and remain Indefinitely as "able State papers." Tho uow Gover nor, T. T. Gcor, is now occupying a committee room in tho Capitol build lug nod Is also busy with Ills first ex ecutive document, Much la expected from this Urst message. Ho Is known to be an able writer. It is believed that he will strlko hard at abuses In the State Government, and especially at the committee clerk ovll allowed by the legislatures. Mr. Gecr Is quite a young man and perhaps tho tallest man yet to occupy tho office of chief executive. He wears a long Prince Albert coat and stands up very excep tionally straight to his full height, giving his (Inure a commanding ap pearance about tho Capitol corridors. Ho signs his namo simply "T. T. Gcor." This slgnlture ho will have to write thousands ot times before ho serves out his term of olllcc, as it must appear, apprqvlngor disapproving all laws, nil bills for supplies for Stato Institutions, applications for loans from tho Irrcduclblo school fund and bo on ad Inllnltut. Governor Lord signed his namo "Win, P.Lord." Doth slgnlturcs aro very short. Govornor Pecnoycr signed "8. Pennoyer," There arc three rooms In the Execu tive department. The Governor's work room nour the front, occupied by tho prlvato Secretary und tho laruo re ception room next the Sonate Cham ber. It. Is presumed that W. S. Dun nlway, tho present obliging private Secretary will rctlro with Goyornor Lord and his place bo tilled by Waltci Lyon, the present Salem correspond ent for the Oregonlan. Mr. Lyon Is a young man porhaps under 3u with black hair, Ucckcd hero nnd thero by an occasional promaturo uray hair has a black mustache and Is not married. Ho Is a wrltor of consider able ability und has studied law and Is knowu to bo In closo touch with T. T. Gcor. It has not been found out whom Governor (leer will select as atonographer or whether ho will have any stenographer.

Klntald.tho well-known silver uhamplou Is rounding out a very successful tour years' torm and on the morning of January 0,1800, will turn ovor tho keys ot his extensive depart ment (for thoro aro soyeral depart ments In ono) to Hon. P, 1. Dunbar, or Astoria. Mr. Klncald Is a man pastGOycaasof ago and lias mado ills four years In olTlco a continuum tight for tho plain common people. Ho lus been unrelenting In his light and has mado ou)o cncmlos but many friends among iho country peoplo and the substantial business men of Oregon. Hlsotllce is tho biggest and most Im portant of all tho state oftlccs, Ho Is not only Secretary of Btate but also State Auditor, Stuto Iusuranco Com missioner, Stato Commissioner of Building und Loan Associations and Trustee of tho tho Stato institutions, aud member of half a dozen Board und commissions. Tho otllco Is really too big an oltlce, Mr. Klncald has tried hard to attend to it cor rectly. Ho works overy nluht till 11 or 12 o'clock und is at his desk by 8 in tho morn ing. Tho new Secretary, Mr. F. I Dunbar, Is a young man, tall and slender and wears glasses. He Is a business man and will be In Salem early In January proparlng for the multitude of duties toon to doyolve poti him, In tho department ot statu thero are six clerks. Only three huvo as ye been announced by the now secretary. Mr, 0. M. Lock wood tho present chief clerk, who, under the present division of tho work ot the otllco, devotes his attentions 10 Insur ance business and does tho work done In othor states by a stato Insurance commissioner, will bo succeeded by Mr. Frank Kendall Lovell, tho pres ent book-keeper. Mr. Lovell Is too well known to the Salem people to need uny introduction- Ho Is very aotlyo, polite and well versed In the duties ho Is soon to assume. Ono Important oflleo has not yet been tilled. That is the placo at present occupied by Carey F. Martin, the youug lawyer, He haw licet, the law clerk, goneral correspondence clqrk, compiling clork and In fact general doputy secretary of stato undor Mr. MMMMMM Klncald for the past four years. He wilt retlro with Mr. Klncald on Jaouary 0, aud his successor is not yet announced. An Astoria gentle man by the name of Mosor will be tho uow bookkeeper In the auditing de partment, and ho will bo assisted by tho present clllclcnt clerk Nick Haas. The recording clerk B. F. Glltncmnd tho ateuogrupher, Miss Ella Hodson, both anticipate retiring on tho in coming or the new secretary and no doubt their successors will be an nounced within a fow day9. Hon. Clias. S. Moore succeeds Hon. Phil Mctschan at Stato Treasurer nnd thb formal trausfer of tho large quantity of money uow on hand will probably bo mado on tho morning of January 0, 1800. Mr. Moore Is quite a oung looking man, is now living In Salem, and frequently seen about the ..Stato Capitol building, lie wears a plain slouch hat and drecses very common. Has a heavy light-colored moustache and greets one with a pleasant amllo. His chief Deputy will bo a Mr. Perkins of Southern Oregon wao succeeds Frank Hodgkln. Tho retiring clerk Mr. Hodgxin hasbocn employed In the Stato house continuously for nearly twenty years. Tho Stato Treas urer only has two clerk and the lucky man to succeed J. D. Suther land haj not yet been named. The State Treasurer, like the Secretary of State, is a member of a number of boards nnd commissions and has many duties to perform but not so many of course as the Secretary, The new man looks like a thorough busi ness mnn and will no doubt put tho stato treasury in good condition, Ho will not receipt for any money not actually turned over to him. Tho legislature appropriated money to pay oft all outstanding warrants and the present treasurer has made a call embracing part of those out standing. Thero aro yet a large number outstanding, und drawing in terest at 8 per cent and no doubt among tho tlrst official acts ot the next or new Treasurer will bo to call In all these warrants and stop the state paying interest. Hon. G. M. Irwin, tho school Mipcr- Intcndent, also goes out ot oflleo on the rooming ot the second Monday In Junuar,y to bo succeeded' by Mr. Ackerman of Portland. -Mr Irwin has his biennial report already printed aud all the work tot his oillce well cleaned up so that tho new su perintendent will have a clear and clean field to work on. In the oillce Mrs. Geo. II. Irwin, has mado a very clllclcnt deputy under the present superintendent. The new usstttant has not beet announced. Miss Jesslo Crelghton the present stenographer In tho superintendent's department ha beennn especially cfllclent officer and It Is tn bo hoped that she will bo re tained although nothing Is definitely known. In tho stato printing odlco Mr. Leeds succccdf himself and of course will muko few It any changes In his office. The present foreman Mr, Dayo Ashbaugh, has held tho position for many years and thoroughly under stands tho business, while Mr. Peter lJcckct, in chargo of tho Job depart ment, is especially enmpctant nnd a pleasant and obliging gentleman to do business with, A very large forco of printers aro now employed getting out tho varlou 1 biennial reports and It Is pleasing to see hero and there a lady printer at tho caso, Attorney-general Idloman gives place to Hon. D, R. N, Blackburn on tho convening or tho legislature. No clerks aro cnployed In the depart ment of the attorney-general and no particular transfer will bo necessary except tho turning over of the papers In the various cases now pending. Tho new supremo Judge, non. F. A, Moore, different from all other state officers went Into office on July 6, or the first Monday In July, and has now served nearly six months ot his nw torm. Thero will thoreforo bo no ohangosln tho supreme court or In the clerks or officers ot tho court--ilon. J. J. Murphy continuing as clerk and Capt. Flqloy Perrlno ns BaUltr. And W. P. Williams as sten ographer and assistant clerk, Tho state librarian Is elected by the leRlslature. Tho present officer, J; B Putnam has been in many years and by reason of his special efficiency bus never been disturbed. For the past three sessions tho legislature has not oven re-elected him but allowed him to hold over from year to year. The legislature at Its session In Jaouary will probably officially re-elect Mr. Putnam for another two years. Thoro will probably Dot bo any Im mediate change In thptato Land do parttuent. After the .new state of fTcorsdotoriulne upjn Jlhelr men the present clerk or the Stato Land Board Gen. V. II. Odell and his two efficient deputies Geo. G. Brown and Basil Wagner may retire though nothing Is now known about tho capltol cor ridors. Also tho special Lieu Land Agent. Hon, T, W. Davenport, will probably retire with the administra tion ot Governor Lord under whom he was appointed. Mr. und Mrs. Davenport will return to their Silver- gMtWXMOlMWilll'' ton homo to llvo after has adjourned. tho legislature In the capital bulldlngthere will bo a change of four or more Janltorfl, a ilreman, nlghtwatchman, carpenter, and gardner, but all those positions are not expected to bo tilled at once. Tho changes cannot be made at once. Especially Is tho work of tho Janitors Important during tho legislature at tho very tlmo when tho new officers take office. At tho various state Institutions, tho penitentiary, usylum und reform school, changes must necessarily bo made, but It Is not expected that these institutions will bo entirely changed, and In many cases minor officers can not bo changed at all without Impair ing tho service To all tho outgoing and Incoming mdmbers of tho public 6ervlco Thb Uhkistmas Jodunal extends the compliments of tho season.
